Reason

Action

On July 2, 2024, the firm notified customers through Urgent Medical Device Correction letters. Customers were informed of the increased risk of postoperative periprosthetic femoral fracture (PFF). The firm will be updating the IFU to reflect the risk of PFF, with anticipated release by the end of August 2024.

This updated letter reflected FDA's Medical Device Safety Communication issued on September 17, 2024, which provided additional recommendations on the use of the affected product during the phase out period, including that surgeons should consider using an alternative prosthesis where possible.
